Title: "Child, have
words heard steered you closer to Me? Or further into a world of logic? "

St. Gregory the Great, Thursday, September 3, 1998
Dear Jesus and Holy Mother,
[Jesus speaks.....] So often are you fixated on the voice which sits before you. Media pounds you,
and you accept it. Advice streams before your eyes and you listen. Do you lose
sight of the Source of All Wisdom? Do you even know what Wisdom is anymore? O
Generation! When will you listen to ME with as much time as you give to the enemy?
The enemy? Yes! The enemy.
Children, an enemy's plan is to attack, to overthrow, to plunder.....you. How
shall this be done? The enemy must be shrewd, cunning, especially if he is to
capture the heart of one who would be dedicated to Me. Have I not told you there are
wolves in the sheepfold? My lambs would flee from a wolf; and so, the wolf wears a
disguise.
Smooth words. Cunning words. Knowing words. And place.
Unsuspecting place. He would enter and divide you. He would enter and
absorb you. And sometimes, the weapon used to distract you is another unsuspecting
sheep. Children, it is of the utmost importance that you stay prayerful. If
you do not remain in constant prayer, you shall wander away from Me. Well-meant
intentions can multiply and become the paving stones that lead you on a road from Me.
Keep in prayer, little ones. *I* shall lead you. Come follow ME.
*I* am the Leader, you are the follower. If you lead another, it is only
because YOU are following ME. See?
Children, turn everything to prayer. Then, you are more sure of being in Me.
Pray before you do. Pray as you do. And pray after. Thanking God
for all and everything.
Children, the enemy sets traps. You will fall if you do not follow MY Way.
What words do you hear? From what source? A prayerful source? Are
YOU in prayer? Have you prayed about what you have heard. Do you not think I
would clarify what you need to know? Do you trust Me? Have you spent any time
listening to your heart? Or are all words heard in your head? My Kingdom
resides in your heart: your soul. You cannot travel here if you do not know
the way. And you cannot find the Way if you do not follow Me. *I* am the Way.
I am the Truth. I am the Life. And I am the Light by Which you will
see.
Child, have words heard steered you closer to Me? Or further into a world of
logic? Listen. I appear on your seashore. I bid you to follow Me.
Right there. Right then. NOW. Where is the logic in that?
And where will we go? I know the way. Through prayer, I SHALL lead you.
But now the question is, will you come? Child, the greatest possession to be
left behind is the will. This must be offered to Me. Yes. The gift is
the vehicle of offering its very self. You would render all to Me. But we have
gone no where if I truly do not have your will.
What is logic compared to My Wisdom? Have you not yet seen the very depth of
MY Soul, so Loving, so Kind, that you would trust ME more than My creation? Logic
lures you to the world. Wisdom, My Own, calls you to soar with the angels. O
creation! Be not trapped by the snares you set for yourself. If you cannot
move forward in Me, look, search, in prayer, to see why it is you cannot move. Come,
I will show you where it is the trap has ensnared you. There is no harm in
discovering these self-made traps. On the contrary, there is much freedom to be won.
Beyond yourself, there is an enemy. He is vying for your soul. He has
discovered your weakness, and he lures you from within your own weakness. It is for
this reason that I say: bring to Me all your sorrows, your joys, your burdens, your
woe. I LONG for it all. Do not deny Me the pleasure of the fullness of you.
I have open Arms, waiting for the FULL arrival of you. Here at My Side.
See all the fish in the sea. [ref. today's Gospel] See all who
would be touched by your full and complete "yes" to Me. Let the greatest
form of your worship of Me be contained in how you live your life. Child, I stand at
your seashore. I am here in your boat. Will you come and follow Me? Now?
Why later? Here I am now, in your midst. Do you see Me? Do you
hear Me? Now? Please. Now. Amen.
